Have you seen Wesley Wells in a game lately?

If ANYBODY loses a scholarship, it would be a first in Tech history. If somebody yanks Well's scholarship, then I am done.

Scholarships don't get "pulled." Players just decide to go elsewhere. Will be interesting to see if we get any walkons at kicker in the next class.

We have one pwo kicker committed and just offered another one, Tuck Gleason's teammate at Plant. Job seems open.

Wells was a walk-on. Did CPJ give him the scholy during the season last year or dd CGC give it after he was hired?

I was also under the impression that walk on scholarships could be for just one year sometimes and wouldn't necessarily be "pulled" but they always know what their terms are.

Collins gave it to him.

Collins gave it to him.

That's what I thought. Thanks for confirming it. So one would think Collins thinks there are valid reasons for benching him.

Walk ons who earn scholarships are typically told that it’s a one year deal. They have to earn it again

This makes sense and explains why Collins was comfortable enough to do it. Wells earned it last year but I was surprised we would have 2 kickers on scholly and figure we wouldnt beyond this year.

Wes will work his *** off to get playing time. Known him since we were 5. He’ll be back

Glad to hear it. Hope he works his way back.

Sorry, sir. Would not be the first time in our history. There are just different ways to do it. I have 3 names that came immediately to mind. I knew 2 under BC and I know there was one under CG. Hope we don’t go down this hole.

And if there is any position in football where the “starter” is not a nebulous choice it is the KO, FG, and PAT kicker.

Very easy to track in practice and games.

I thought all scholarships are one year. Up to the staff to renew each year.

To my knowledge, that has never been the case at Tech. IF Wells was told that when he got it, fine, but I am not aware of any previous instances where a walk-on was told that, unless it was already their senior year.

I don't remember those. Can you give names? Are you sure they weren't seniors with only one year left anyway?

LOL CPJ said this every year. This is nothing new. Walk-ons are awarded one year scholarships every year. We have always been very upfront about it. The guys are getting a scholly because we fell short of meeting the 85 limit for various reasons.

Honestly I don’t care if he’s missing every kick in practice. He never missed a single kick in a game. At least wait for 1 single kick before you enter his head.

He missed the XP against Citadel and his misses in practice and pre-game haven't been close. Just because he didn't miss last year in-game doesn't mean you trot him out there when he's obviously got some mechanics or mental problem going on with his game right now. The coaches see him every day and I'm sure they would put him out there if he was the better kicker. If you are ever in the stands early enough to watch pre-game warm-ups, you'll see it if you watch.

The walk ons that CPJ honored, other than Brad Stewart, only had one year of eligibility left, so it was a moot point.

Harvin was holding for the Duke game. Also it was sorta funny but the press box announcer was calling runs by Jordan Mason as by Harvin for most of the first half. Must have mixed up their numbers.

They share number 27. We have lots of players sharing numbers this season though they typically would not be on the field together.

I guess that's how Harvin ended up with a reception in espn's box score? lol

I changed the thread title to avoid alarm.

It was “Wesley Wells Missing”, which could cause some scary conclusions.

Yeah, the duplicate numbers plus the announcement of two way players has caught me looking hard to read names above the numbers this season.
